   I drove in yesterday to see the Clippers play the Nuggets did Los Angeles and was meeting a friend that lived in Marina del Rey and I hadn’t been there in 30 years and found this reservation or restaurant on OpenTable. The place was very nice. My date was about a half hour late, but we still had a reservation unfortunately she didn’t like seafood so a little bit challenging to find exactly what you wanted, but we did find a salad with chicken for her. That worked. I had some salmon fish is as well as some lobster bisque and some broccolini unfortunately, the broccolini arrive cold. They did take it off the menu. The fish was OK. I wouldn’t say it was great. I probably wouldn’t order it again and it was fairly expensive. We did have some margaritas that were very good. The server was very good and it’s a beautiful ambience restaurant. It wasn’t warm enough to eat outside and it was getting later, but it looked like it would be a great place to have an outside drink or eat as well.

   Our book club met at SALT for bunch, and the experience was so amazing! I had not been to the location in quite some time, so I was pleasantly surprised by the new layout. The food was great, and our server Elmer was very helpful with menu recommendations. I will definitely be back soon!

   Beautiful outdoor area. Quiet and peaceful. Little sandwiches were better than the sweets. Mostly the crusts were so so. The macaroons were perfect.

   Disappointed. Food was not prepared well. Service was okay. Restaurant has slipped a lot from its glory years.

   My husband and I came here for a long-awaited opportunity for a date night. The patio looked gorgeous, but as it was chilly and getting dark, we sat inside. It felt like a cheap diner- the choice of metal chairs or vinyl bench seats, and neon lights behind sheets of plastic for ambiance. We ordered our food- I have never asked how I wanted my salmon cooked before! I said "how would the chef recommend?", to which the response was "medium well". The food was excellent, save the salmon that was a bit dry (apparently I prefer my salmon a little bit more rare than "medium well"). I was expecting a higher quality experience, based on what was portrayed online. Natalie, our server was AMAZING though- attentive, funny, and was very busy, but kept making sure we were taken care of. She saved our evening.

   Server made inappropriate comments. Called me “young man” and he looks 20 years old. He was no where to be seen when I needed the check. I asked him to get me a box and he insisted on boxing my food for me.

    SALT offers a beautiful venue. Due to outstanding weather we were able to dine outside. Service at times was a bit slow but the staff were pleasant, friendly and helpful. While we waited for our party to arrive we enjoyed drinks on the bar patio. The bartenders are awesome and mix excellent drinks. The food was outstanding. Most of our party ordered the chicken and French toast. So yummy! I enjoyed the salmon Benedict which was delicious and the eggs were perfectly done. I chose salad for my side and it was fresh and tasty.
